The collapse of the "heart and soul" of the case, as Solicitor Gil liam put it. came with the an nouncement that H. B.

All the more important of thej proposed amendments to the pre^ sent Agricultural Adjustment Actj apply to Section 8* of the present Act, which is concerned with^i? '"'General Powers" of the Secretary! of Agriculture iu connection with "commodity benefits." First Amendment The first Amendment provides that in the place of the present cash payment, benefit payments may be made jn agricultural com modities acquired by the Secre tary in the course of such com modity loan operations as the cop ton loans of last year, using pro cessing taxes to redeem the cot-, ton, wheat or other commodity, and then, if he chose, paying sign ers of corn-hog contracts in balasj of cotton. tti-<'?n<i AliH'iKinicnt It is generally believed that the present Act restricts tile issuance of licenses exclusively to proces sor* and then only for the pur pose of carrying out tlie terms of u marketing agreement which has been signed by more than] fifty per cent of the mamifactur- > ers affected. The second proposed amend ment extends the ll/,"nr'"n power! j>l Uw- Secretary of Agriculture' to Include not pnly processors but aH-ttlBse "engaged In the handling of any agricultural commodity or product thereof, or any competing^ commodity or product thereof" (farm buyers, transportation com panies, warehouses and grain ele-! vators, wholesalers and retailers), and makes It possible to issue li censes even against the will of the majority of those affected. Since commerce are either composed 111' part of some "agricultural com modity" or some commodity which may be regarded as in some sen.* competing with agriculture, ther second of the proposed amend ments make the Secretary the pot-! ential dictator of the greater parti of American industry. , j Specifically, the second amend ment provides that subject only to the formality of a public hearing: Subsection 1. The Secretary of Agriculture may, regardless of their attitude, place under license "processors, associations of pro ducers, and others 'engaged In handling any-i agricultural com mpdity" for the purpose of elimin ating unfair practices or charges that tend to -prevent the effectua tion of the declared policy (of the Act) and the restoration of nor mal economic conditions in the; marketing of such commodities or; products and the financing there of U should be noted that, sub lec r to *6ourt review, it is left to the Secretary of Agriculture to Interpret the meaning ~ot the words "unfair practices and charges;" It is well known that certain elements in the'Depart ment are unfavorable to the ad vertising of food products on. the ' ground that advertising tends to increase what they regard as an excessive, spread between farm selling price and cost-to the con sumer. While it is unlikely that the Department would attempt to eliminate food advertising entire ly, it might under this wording hold that advertising in excess of a certain percentage of gross sales resulted in ."unfair charges" for agricultural products. Subsection 2. The Secretary may place under license any class of processors or handlers of agri cultural commodities provided sig natures to a marketing agreement are secured from persons process ing or handling more than fifty per Cent of the-voiume of business done in that classification. While not so arbitrary as the i previous subsection which permits ' the issuing of licenses against the ' will' of all the persons affected,! this subsection makes it poaslbl} I for the will of a small numerical { minority of large processors or < handlers to be Hnposed on the ma jority if that should fall in with the Secretary's purposes. Subsection 3. The Secretary, if he wishes to place under license all processors and handlers of an agricultural commodity, need, with the President's approval, merely propose a marketing agree ment, hold a hearing, a'nd then come to the conclusion that since persons handling fifty per cent or more of the volume of the com 19 fftff" |h" aprree ment, the issuance of licenses is ' the only practical means of- ad vancing the Interests of produc ers. In this Instance the only restric tion on the terms of the licence (except with respect to produc tion and sales quotas) is that it "make effective the marketing plan set forth in the proposed marketing agreement" and shall not be in conflict with existing Acts of Congress or regulations pursuant thereto. The Secretary may. It he sees fit, specify resale (Continued on page four) p Acclaimed for Best 1934 Screen Performance iiuLiLt x ? wl> . . .

V - Cotton Contract For 1935 County Agent E. J. Morgan writes of the Cotton situation- as follows: * Who will be eligible to sign a Cotton^ Acreage Reduction Con tract ip 1935? This is a question that has been in the minds of all those growers who did not sjgn a Cotton Contract in 1934>^JtTrypro ducer who is amr^CefT cash ten ant, standing or fixed rent tenant, or a managing-share tenant (joint ly with the landlord) and who operates a farm on which cotton was planted in either 1933 or 1934, and on which cotton will be planted in 1935 may sign a contract for this year. Cotton mils', have been planted in either or both years 1933 and 1934 on the fa rin, tot that farm to be eligible for a contract: in 1935. Every far mer who did not sign a Cotton Contract last year will be given rffre opportunity to sign an applica tion for a 1935 contract on Wed nesday and Thursday, Marcfi 20th and 21st, at their township meet ing places. Mr. Charles A. Sheffield, As sistant to the Director of Exten sion of North Carolina, advises that it is to the advantage of the small grower to sign a contract in 1935. A producer on a farm with a base of not more than 5 acrps, and not less than 1 acre may"sign a contract. The Secretary will rent as low ais f>ne acre this year and .with a base of 5 acres or lower the producer may rent^ his base if he so desires. According to a new ruling sent out by the Agricultural Adjust ment Administration, small' grow ers with a base of two bales will be permitted to sell this amount of lint cotton tax free. For ex ample, if a grower has a base of 4 acres and 239 pounds of lint per acre, he will be permitted, to sell 956 pounds. of lint tax free. If he has base of 4 acres, and 200 pounds per acre, this man will not be allowed to sell two bales tax free, but his base which will be 800 pounds of lint cotton. The 1935 Cotton program, as for 193 4, has for its purpose the maintaining of an ample supply of American Cotton to meet both foreign and domestic market de mands. The 1935 plan seeks to avoid an additional surplus over 1934. It is also its purpose to give the farmers the largest possible <<tal Income for their 1935 crop. If the farmers rent as much as 33 per cent of their base acreage to the government, it Is estimat ed that this will give an increase of more than 3,000,000 acres planted to cotton. With this in crease over the 1934 crop, it" is estimated the 1935 crop will be near 11,500,000 bales. The Secretary of Agriculture will make rental payments of 3 % cents per pound of lint cotton under contract which is left out of cotton production, and parity payments of not less than 1 V* cents per pound for 40 per cent of the farm's a.verage production for the base period. ? Ocntrael signers for 1939 fflll be given the choice of three op tions from which they may choose the number of acres that they might plant: (1) Rent 25% of the base acre age to the Government. (2) .Rent "30% of the base acre age. rl - (3) Rent pt>% of the base a cre ase. "Cotton growers should consider these option* carefully before they make their 'decisions. No matter which option they might choose, they will be Issned certificates to coyer only 65% ot their base Tobacco Contracts Farmers who could not sign it Tobacco Reduction Contract last year and wish to sell their tobacco tax free this year should meet witU their Township Committeemen* next Monday and Tuesday, March 18th and liuh, to make a formal application for a new Special Base Contract. 4 The following townships will bejjfin work "Monday morning at 9 otMocJu.v Y tfuftgflVtTre ?

Stallings' Store near Edward Best School, r Cypress Creek ? Sev^n Paths. Your application should be filed with the Community Committee men on the above dates so the County Committeemen will havo time to review, finish with the in vestigation of each, and send tha applications to the State Board of Review by March 25tli. It will bo your duty to tell your friends of this notice, because Saturday, March 23rd is the last day an ap plication will be taken by a com mitteeman. It will be impossible totellr at this time^howjiuuJM^raTTto^cre-^ 4M?^-irmrT)roduction you will ba entitled to receive. The Appllca tions will then be sent to the Stat? Board of Review who will give the base figures from which your Special Base Contract will b& worked. The Special Base Contract will carry the same regulations as the 1H 4 and 1935 Tobacco Pro duction Adjustment Contract. A payment of six dollars ($6.00) per acre will be paid for each ^icre between the base, as found by the State Board of Re view, and the acres that you will be allowed tor plant; There are several regulations that will guide the Committeemen in recommending applications for the year 1935. There regulations made in Washington will permit the County Committeemen to re commend an application for ap proval provided that: (1) The farm in question* is equipped for the production of to bacco. and tobacco was grown oa that farm in one of the years 1929 to 1934 inclusive. (2) The producer or tenants who live on the farm in 1935 must hav6' grown tobacco or were eng aged in the production of tobacco in some of the years 1929 to 1934. The Committee can not recom mend for approval any applica tion for a farm that is covered by " a 1934 and 1935 tobacco Pro duction Contract. If the owner of a farm has signed a tobacco con tract on one or more of his farms and for some reason has not sign ed- ? tobacco contract on some other farm that he owns, operates, or controls, he or his -tenants can not sign a Special Baset- Contract on this farm. No farmer can sign a Special Base Contract on a farm that is eligible for a 1934-1935 Tobacco Production Adjustment Contract. . Special Base Contracts are in tended for only those farmers who have not, and can not sign tobacco adjustment contracts and who, be cause of conditions beyon<^ their control, can not get a fair allot ment under a 1934 and 1935 to bacco contract. The Special Base Contract provides for those peo-. pie who have moved from farms that were under 1934 contracts, but not for those people who mov ed from these farms under con tract with the intention of using their personal history to obtain allotments on some other farm . that is not under contact. Ther# will be only one applica tion fitted out for a farm which is considered as one unit. If there are several cash tenants or man aging share tenants on- the same tract of land, owned by the- same person, then each of these parts farmed by separate tenants will be considered as a farming unit and each tenant will be allowed to sign a separate application, with ? the operator. All sharetenanta, and share-croppers who have an interest in the tobacco crop .wlU be required to sign the applica tion. Applications Mr Special Base Contracts will be filed by only those who are actively engaged In the production of tobacco on the farm, not by absentee land owners who do not participate in production or direction of produc tion of the crops on the farm. E. J. Morgan, County Agent. poundage. For example: ' A farm with a base, of 9 acres, and an adjusted base average of 200 pounds per acre: Rents 25% of base equal 7 acres to plant equal 1170 pounds to sell tax-free. Rents 30% of base equal 6 acres to plant equal 1170 pounds to sell tax-free, Rents 36% of base equal 6 acres to plant equal 1170 ponnds to sell tax-tree. __ -- Prom this example, 1170 pounds is the limit that this farm er may sell tree no matter which option Is his choice.
